Sprint 4G a Perfect Match for Philadelphia Software Provider

February 22, 2010

Kayentis executives trial the new technology; see immediate benefits with customers

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Feb 22, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sprint’s 4G technology is making a Philadelphia-based software provider
for the pharmaceutical and health care industry more efficient,
responsive and valuable to its customers, and leaders at the company
have taken note.

Executives at Kayentis,
intrigued by the benefits of much faster download speeds and significant
Web experience improvements of the technology, began experimenting with
Sprint 3G/4G USB Modem U300 mobile broadband cards last year.

"Communicating by our North American executives with each other and with
our pharmaceutical customers has been greatly improved with the use of
the Sprint 3G/4G broadband cards," said Guy Maestre, vice president,
North American Operations, Kayentis. "The new e-mail and data exchange
speeds that we see when acquiring research data, RFP information, and
accessing our applications in our central servers through the Web are
truly remarkable."

Sprint 4G technology, launched in 27 U.S. markets, delivers peak
download speeds of more than 10 Mbps - up to 10 times faster than the 3G
service offered by any carrier today.* The new 3G/4G service
lets users instantly download the files needed to get work done on the
run and browse the Web from virtually any place in the city, not just a
few hotspots. Sprint 4G launched in Philadelphia on Oct. 26, 2009.

Sprint 4G will be valuable in health care and where data-rich
information, such as vital facts, X-rays and medical records, must be
rapidly exchanged during emergencies. The new technology can also
accelerate the approval of clinical trials for pharmaceutical products,
which helps patients who are waiting for new life-saving medicines or
operating procedures.

"Sprint 4G will also allow Kayentis customers to access our applications
while away from a wired Web access point and have access to their data
instantaneously, thereby accelerating the clinical data capture
process," Maestre added.

"Sprint 4G will be a major shift in the way businesses use
bandwidth-intensive mobile devices and offers a glimpse of the future of
wireless technology for an eager market," said Todd Rowley, vice
president, Sprint 4G. "Sprint 4G customers will enjoy a blazing-fast
mobile broadband experience and much higher quality video conferencing,
not to mention flexibility with IT spending by using 4G as a primary or
backup connection rather than a wired T1, which costs more and takes
longer to install."

Michael Santoli, of Barron’s, likes the direction Sprint is
taking with its 4G implementation across the country.

In his Dec. 7 piece, "Sprint Nextel Starts to Hit Its Stride," he
writes, "This tier of service accommodates bandwidth-intensive mobile
video and other functions that are in growing demand. The 4G effort and
a slate of well-received smartphones (such as Palm Pre) and other
devices are a part of Sprint’s growth strategy that very few investors
are focused on."

Sprint, the first national wireless carrier to test, launch and market
4G technology, expects to continue introducing the technology in
multiple markets, including Boston, New York, Houston, San Francisco and
Washington, D.C.

"Sprint is more than one year ahead of competitors in launching 4G
service to millions of consumers and business customers," said Jaime
Jones, senior vice president, Business Markets Group. "Our lead will
widen in 2010 with service to more major cities and an impressive lineup
of Sprint 4G-powered modems and router/Wi-Fi devices to access
blazing-fast speeds for browsing the Web, accessing multimedia-rich
information, exploring social networking and lag-free videoconferencing
in 4G service areas."
